SCAMS AGAINST ELDERLY CONTINUE

Telephone and Internet scammers are still trying to separate people from their money. Crow Wing County Sheriff Todd Dahl said people have to be more skeptical and less trusting. Dahl said if an offer from a friendly stranger sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Sheriff Dahl said many of these scams are targeting senior citizens who were raised in a kindler, gentler more trusting era. He said they too have to toughen up and ask for more information. Dahl said if you've been contacted by someone with an offer that seems like a scam, call the county sheriff's office and pass on your information.
